REACH THE
PEOPLE
Could it really be nearly 15 years ago we first received an
inquiry from Evangelist Eugene Narh? He had been trained
in Film Evangelism as a full-time employee of Challenge Cinema,
organized by the Ghana branch of SIM. Now God had separated him
for more hands-on outreach through his new organization - Reach
the People Ministries. But he needed Films! And InterComm would
not be established yet for 2 more years. Would used Film Prints
be okay? It took nearly 2 years to get the first 10 films into
his hands through the Mercy Ships of YWAM (Youth with a
Mission). How excited was his letter of December, 1990, filled
with early plans and programs.
"I have been invited to show films for a week here in our
capital," he wrote from Accra. "I believe God Himself
will cause your films to have a great impact on many people."
Over the years dozens
of churches have been started through the fruit of his
AVangelism. Eugene has been faithful to help equip these
churches, as well with goods donated from the USA. He has also
encouraged other Evangelists by loaning them Film Kits for
special outreach opportunities. Although some Reports were not
able to be included, we do know Eugene has conducted at least
208 Films Showings to 159,406 people with 35,187 responding for
salvation.
God really can use
one man effectively!
CAMBODIA -
TORCH REPORT
Dan and Rose Blosser came through the Jakarta, Indonesia
Missions’ Guest House just as Lane and Jill Anderson had
completed the recording of the Bahasa Indonesia videos.
They invited us to accompany them up to the city of Bandung in
the mountains where they were going to vacation, but to also
look in at some Trans World Radio Ministry Projects. The train
trip up into the mountains was a beautiful
visual experience and gave
us plenty of time to share ministry opportunities. Recently
assigned to the country of Cambodia, Dan and Rose were excited
about the emerging church and ministry outreach opportunities.
The Torch Kit sounded exactly like the kind of tool, which would
have great benefit in their ministry, and as they were soon
coming back to the USA on Home Leave, they made arrangements to
stop by the InterComm office. They left with 2 Torch Kits and
some other materials to assist them in evangelism outreach
ministry through audiovisuals upon return.
As broadcast missionaries, their plates were full. Yet, over
the next months initial placements of the Torch Kits occurred,
and God began to bless it in a wonderful way. A young pastor
received the first Torch Kit and began translating the stories
into the Khmer Language. He found it to be very
effective, and was hoping more stories might be available than
were originally provided for him.
Rose has found the other Kit so very helpful, particularly in
circumstances when she’s traveling around the country and stays
overnight. People are always fascinated by the stories and
invite others in for an evening of witness. Some of the Bible
school students, who have been taught how to use the Torch Kit,
were competing over who would be able to use it in their next
outreach ministry. For that reason, Dan and Rose asked if they
could have a couple more Torch Kits for Cambodia. So while they
were again on a short trip back to the USA (Dan’s home is
Goshen, Indiana.) in June, we were able to put those into their
hands.
Please pray with us regarding God’s anointing on these 4
Kits, making in-roads into this country held captive by
Communism for so many years.
MANY PEOPLE
COLLECTED
Pastor Emmanuel L Msambya of Kigoma, Tanzania writes:
"We are so much thankful for the videos you have sent, since
they are helpful for our ministry. Always the Media Showings
collect many people. We preach to them, and then show them the
videos. They hear the Word of God, which is a seed planted in
their hearts. They see the showings and often the pagans cry out
to the Lord while watching movies like ZAWADI or PILGRIM’S
PROGRESS. May the Lord expand this ministry for His glory. We
are so thankful for you and for InterComm Team for sending us
these videos."
He sent a Report of 35 showings, 7,350 viewers, 210
responding for salvation.
MANY HEARTS TOUCHED
Evangelist John L Ekanyu L’Oluka of Soroti,
Uganda writes:
"My ministry is to both the saved and
unsaved. So many hearts have been touched, not just for
salvation, but we are meeting other needs as well. Comments from
some of the Torch Kit Showings include, ‘My God really saves and
keeps.’ ‘Our marriage has been saved.’ ‘I have seen the value of
mother and father.’ ‘God cares for all people.’ ‘God has renewed
my call to serve Him.’ ‘God has reconciled us to each other.’
Reported 6 showings, 1,340 viewers, 25
decisions for Christ.
SOWING THE SEED
Mr Sunil Lall of Manipur, India writes:
"I’m sending you
the Report on the Torch Kit performance. You will be delighted
to know that this tool has been used to sow the seed of the
Gospel and to bring people into the Kingdom of God. Thank you
for allowing us to have this precious tool. God bless you."

HEARTBEAT

The Walamo Story
The Sudan Interior Mission now known as SIM
set a goal many years ago to reach upper African tribes for
Christ. High on their agenda was the Walamo tribe living on the
Sudan/Ethiopia border, an area wasted by drought and tormenting
sandstorms.
One day a stranger appeared. He was dressed
in similar clothing to the Europeans, yet seemed different. He
was different! Europeans from the North had been greedy and
unkind, but this man said he came to help them.
He carried magic stones, or at least they
looked like stones. When they had aching heads, this man would
give them 2 stones to swallow and like magic the headache would
leave. He also had good ideas about planting seed on dry land.
Others came to work with him and soon they showed the Walamo
tribesmen how to dig wells. Now they could not only water the
seeds but have clean water for drinking.
One day each week they would gather together
for a God talk. They learned many wonderful things about this
God. Best of all, they learned how they could have new hearts by
reaching out for the love of this God.
About this time news brought fear concerning
a powerful warrior named Mussolini. He was known as a big man
with a weak backbone. He did not dare to fight people his own
size, so he sent soldiers with cruel guns into Africa wherever
he could quickly overpower the people. There was so little time,
but the missionaries did ordain pastors amongst the more
spiritual men reminding them "You must trust God. He will help
you, if you truly trust Him." Then as the fascists moved in, the
missionaries had no choice but to leave. SIM received a few
reports. They learned that Mussolini ’s
soldiers had burned down all of the churches and sent the
pastors as prisoners of war to Italy.
At last, after Mussolini had been defeated,
missionaries were able to return to the Walamo tribe. To their
joy and amazement they learned that the Christians had not
obeyed the godless fascists. The pastors before being sent
away had carefully
selected other leaders. Perhaps about ten percent of the people
had become young believers. Now, when they returned, they found
several villages where nearly all the citizens were believers in
the Lord Jesus!
The Walamo tribe illustrates the eagerness with which so many
today in Ethiopia and Sudan embrace the gospel when it is
clearly presented. God has blessed InterComm with many wonderful
contacts working in these challenging locations sharing the
ministry of AVangelism and inviting the lost to accept Christ.
